Quite common among dog breeders is the judgment that re-educating a dog is much more difficult than initially instilling certain qualities in it. Sometimes you have to break her psyche in order to achieve the desired result. There are many ways of re-education, from which the owner should choose the methods that are acceptable to him.
Instructions
Step 1
To re-educate a dog, you need to present it with uniform requirements. You can't let her lie on the couch today, and chase her away with shouts tomorrow. The owner must himself know what he can allow the dog, and for what the punishment will follow. You should not be led by your mood.
Step 2
Try to re-educate your dog with treats, but don't overdo it. The treat is a reward, not a hearty meal. Be careful not to train your dog to do tasks only for food. As for food, you should feed her after you have eaten.
Step 3
Don't forget to praise. It is enough to call by name and stroke, and the dog will have a positive experience.
Step 4
Frequent long walks can have a positive effect on your dog. Run with her, ride a bike, spend as much time as possible in the fresh air. But at the same time, be a leader, do not let the dog dominate. Do not pamper the dog, play when there is time, and not when it requires.
Step 5
Punishment is an effective way of re-education. For example, if a dog growls at its owner, you can lift it up and shake it by the scruff of the neck, shout out in a bass voice. Provoke to commit negative actions and immediately catch them at the crime scene. Do not fondle, ignore a certain time. Note that punishment is by no means a beating. Otherwise, your dog will become afraid of people. You can not trick the dog, and then hit. They commanded, approached, stroked, even if she tore up a new sofa.
Step 6
In order to re-educate a dog, you can contact a trainer-trainer. The downside is that his methods do not always coincide with the owners' ideas about the method.
Step 7
The service "psychologist for animals" in Russia is not widespread enough, but rather effective. It is located, as a rule, at the veterinary service. An experienced specialist identifies the motives of a dog's negative behavior, reveals mistakes in upbringing, and gives recommendations.
